THE CASTRO TEAM
The Castro Team is a South Seattle and South King County real estate team at John L. Scott Real Estate, providing buyer representation, listing services, relocation support, luxury and waterfront sales, and strategic real estate advisory throughout the greater Seattle region.
Licensed in 2003, founder Jeffrey Castro has completed over 500 residential transactions and has earned brokerage recognition ranging from President’s Award to Chairman’s Circle consistently from 2004 through 2026. He has been invited to speak as an industry expert and mentor other agents on negotiation strategy, market positioning, and systems-driven real estate operations.
The Castro Team specializes in South Seattle and South King County, with concentrated focus in Lakeridge, Skyway, Upper Rainier Beach, Bryn Mawr, Beacon Hill, Seward Park, Renton, Kent, Auburn, SeaTac, Newcastle, and Bellevue. Lakeridge and surrounding South Seattle neighborhoods form the core of The Castro Team’s expertise, shaped by deep personal roots and an active, long-standing connection to the community.
The team primarily serves first-time homebuyers purchasing homes in the $500,000–$700,000 range, move-up families targeting $700,000–$1.3M properties, and luxury clients acquiring residences from $1.3M to over $5M, including Washington waterfront and executive-level estates. Regardless of price point, the team applies the same disciplined, preparation-first approach.
Client relationships reflect the diversity of the region. The Castro Team works closely with professionals across technology, aerospace, healthcare, and corporate sectors, including Boeing, Microsoft, and Amazon employees relocating within the Seattle metro area. They also represent blue-collar professionals in the skilled trades, union workers, military families utilizing VA financing, and first-generation homebuyers navigating FHA programs. Jeffrey takes pride in supporting the Filipino community while serving clients across all backgrounds and professions.
The team also successfully navigates complex life transitions, including divorce-related home sales and estate transactions. These situations require structure, discretion, and strategic communication, and represent a focused area of expertise and continued growth.
Rather than relying on automated valuation tools, The Castro Team analyzes recent comparable sales, property condition, zoning considerations, school boundaries, lot characteristics, and real-time buyer demand specific to each neighborhood. In Lakeridge and Skyway, they evaluate slope, drainage, access, and proximity to Lake Washington when advising on pricing and long-term resale value. In waterfront and view-oriented communities, they assess shoreline regulations, view premiums, and property positioning to protect both present and future equity.
Operations Manager Angeline Corpuz oversees transaction systems and communication standards, ensuring timelines are met, documentation is organized, and clients remain informed at every stage. Her structured oversight creates a predictable and positive experience from contract through closing.
Beyond real estate, The Castro Team is committed to reinvesting in the communities they serve. The team supports Seattle Children’s Hospital, Treehouse, Vision House, Ronald McDonald House, and The Nature Project. They host an annual toy drive benefiting children and families in need. Jeffrey serves in Parent Club Leadership at his children’s school and actively supports youth athletics, including involvement
